Sony Japan's PlayStation Awards, which recognises game sales in the country, has failed to crown any Platinum or Double Platinum award winners this year.
Titles have to hit 1 million games shipped for the Platinum award or 2 million for Double Platinum, but only Gold awards could be handed out this year, which recognise sales of over 500,000 units.
Those winners were published by Siliconera, (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/12/03/final-fantasy-xiii-2-dark-souls-and-persona-4-golden-win-playstation-awards/) and were all PS3 titles, with Vita failing to make any sort of impression on the gold category.
World Soccer Winning Eleven 2012
Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs.
Final Fantasy XIII-2
One Piece: Pirate Warriors
Resident Evil 6
Instead the PlayStation Vita Special Prize honoured the handheld's best selling titles.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
Gravity Rush
Persona 4: Golden
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f
On the PlayStation Store Special Prize, for the most downloaded PSN titles, arty adventure Journey was top of the list.
Journey
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation

The awards also give out trophies based on users' votes, with games like Gravity Rush and Persona 4: Golden recognised by the User's Choice Prize, which focuses on Japanese games, and Uncharted 3, Call of Duty 3: Modern Warfare and Journey all appearing in the User's Choice Prize World Game Category.
